Hi. I had implant removal plus a reduction and uplift 7 weeks ago. I was a 34G cup and wanted a C cup. I’m healing well and breasts are very symmetrical. They feel smaller and look much better but they still are large. Fed up with the support bras I went for a fitting today and was very upset to find I’m a 34 E.
